2B - 2nd Quarter Update

It is hard to believe that we are now in the 2nd quarter of school! We have accomplished so much since the 1st day of school! I have enjoyed so much being your child’s teacher.

In November, we are busily getting ready for our next holiday – Thanksgiving. This month we are praying for our blessings and we are remembering our loved ones that have passed away. We also will be preparing for our Thanksgiving Play and Feast! We will be performing this on Wednesday, November 23rd at 8:30 am in the Church Hall. This is a performance that you will not want to miss.

Curriculum At A Glance for 2nd Quarter:

Math: We are learning how to count money and change! We will also be learning how to regroup in addition and subtraction.

Reading and Spelling: We will be working on our phonics skills for review along with reading orally and learning new comprehension strategies.

Social Studies: We are currently working on Geography skills and learning mapping skills. After this unit, we will learn about different cultures and celebrations.

Science: We will begin Unit 2 – Earth’s Resources. We will begin by learning about soils, rocs and fossils. After this we will then begin learning about our natural resources.

Religion: Currently we are currently finishing up Unit One and then will begin Unit Two, “We ask God’s Forgiveness”.

Handwriting: As always, we are always striving to do our best work and we are continually working on our printing skills. It is important that we practice this daily and work on forming our letters correctly.

These are some wonderful websites that you may like:

2B - 1st Quarter Update

Welcome to 2B

I am looking forward to having a great year with your child. It will be filled with learning, love and laughter! Second grade is an exciting year, especially from a faith-based perspective. The students will learn many new concepts this year that will both excite them and challenge them.

Below is a brief overview of our first quarter in 2nd grade

Religion/Family Life: We will cover a variety of topics. We will have religion daily and will attend weekly mass as a class. The primary focus of this year will be on preparation for Reconciliation and First Holy Communion.

Language Arts: We will go over short and long vowel sounds and high frequency words. We will explore the concept of characters, main idea, details, and vocabulary, while enjoying interesting stories. We will also focus on sentence structure and development.

Mathematics: We will focus on addition and subtraction facts and data graphs.

Social Studies: We will be learning about neighborhoods and communities.

Science: We will be exploring Life Science.

I look forward to working closely with you as parents to make your child’s year successful, happy and memorable.

God Bless,

Ms.McCarthy
